Export files to Microsoft Azure

Usage example

{
  "steps": {
    "exported": {
      "robot": "/azure/store",
      "use": ":original",
      "credentials": "YOUR_AZURE_CREDENTIALS",
      "path": "my_target_folder/${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}"
    }
  }
}

Parameters

• output_meta

  Record<string, boolean> | boolean | Array<string>

  Allows you to specify a set of metadata that is more expensive on CPU power to calculate, and thus is disabled by default to keep your Assemblies processing fast.

  For images, you can add "has_transparency": true in this object to extract if the image contains transparent parts and "dominant_colors": true to extract an array of hexadecimal color codes from the image.

  For videos, you can add the "colorspace: true" parameter to extract the colorspace of the output video.

  For audio, you can add "mean_volume": true to get a single value representing the mean average volume of the audio file.

  You can also set this to false to skip metadata extraction and speed up transcoding.

• result

  boolean (default: false)

  Whether the results of this Step should be present in the Assembly Status JSON

• queue

  batch

  Setting the queue to 'batch', manually downgrades the priority of jobs for this step to avoid consuming Priority job slots for jobs that don't need zero queue waiting times

• force_accept

  boolean (default: false)

  Force a Robot to accept a file type it would have ignored.

  By default, Robots ignore files they are not familiar with. 🤖/video/encode, for example, will happily ignore input images.

  With the force_accept parameter set to true, you can force Robots to accept all files thrown at them. This will typically lead to errors and should only be used for debugging or combatting edge cases.

• use

  string | Array<string> | Array<object> | object

  Specifies which Step(s) to use as input.

  • You can pick any names for Steps except ":original" (reserved for user uploads handled by Transloadit)
  • You can provide several Steps as input with arrays:
    

    {
      "use": [
        ":original",
        "encoded",
        "resized"
      ]
    }
    

  Tip

  That's likely all you need to know about use, but you can view Advanced use cases.

• credentials

  string

  Please create your associated Template Credentials in your Transloadit account and use the name of your Template Credentials as this parameter's value. They will contain the values for your Azure Container, Account and Key.

  While we recommend to use Template Credentials at all times, some use cases demand dynamic credentials for which using Template Credentials is too unwieldy because of their static nature. If you have this requirement, feel free to use the following parameters instead: "account", "key", "container".

• path

  string (default: "${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}")

  The path at which the file is to be stored. This may include any available Assembly variables.

• content_type

  string

  The content type with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

• content_encoding

  string

  The content encoding with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

• content_language

  string

  The content language with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

• content_disposition

  string

  The content disposition with which to store the file. By default this will be guessed by Azure.

• cache_control

  string

  The cache control header with which to store the file.

• metadata

  Record<string, string> (default: {})

  A JavaScript object containing a list of metadata to be set for this file on Azure, such as { FileURL: "${file.url_name}" }. This can also include any available Assembly variables.

• sas_expires_in

  string | number

  Set this to a number to enable shared access signatures for your stored object. This reflects the number of seconds that the signature will be valid for once the object is stored. Enabling this will attach the shared access signature (SAS) to the result URL of your object.

• sas_permissions

  string

  Set this to a combination of r (read), w (write) and d (delete) for your shared access signatures (SAS) permissions.
